The statement noted that the deployment comprises 2,300 personnel from the Osun Sector Command, supported by 50 personnel each from the Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo and Ogun Sector Commands. Operational and rescue assets have been strategically positioned across the state to guarantee safe and orderly movement for election officials, accredited observers, security personnel and other road users throughout the electoral process.

FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, said the deployment underscores the Corps’ commitment to supporting a peaceful, safe and credible election within its statutory responsibility of road safety and traffic management. He said personnel would carry out their duties with professionalism, neutrality, discipline and respect for human rights while working closely with the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security, ICCES, and other relevant agencies.
